Algebra.Com's Answer #614216 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 30-60-90 triangles have side lengths of 1 for the shortest, 2 for the hypotenuse, and sqrt(3) for the third side. \n" ); document.write( "If the hypotenuse is 10 inches, the short side is 5 inches, and the other side is 5 sqrt(3) inches. \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter is 10+5+5 sqrt(3)inches, and 5 sqrt (3) is 8.66 or 8.7 inches \n" ); document.write( "That is 23.7 inches. \n" ); document.write( " |
